Question

I tried to find a solution but I wasn't be able. The question is simple, how align a TextView and a Button in a LinearLayout .

Something like this:

I tried this but it doesn't work:

<LinearLayout
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <EditText
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:gravity="center_horizontal"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:inputType="textPersonName"
            android:text="Name"
            android:ems="10"
            android:id="@+id/editText"
            android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Light.SearchResult.Subtitle" />

        <Button
            android:text="Button"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/button" />
</LinearLayout>
